Rain water inside chevy 350

I am dealing with an insurance company and want to check something that the adjuster is telling me.
My boat cover and the top that covers the motor were torn off during a wreck. The engine didn't have a spark arrestor on it at the time and once at the tow yard it began to rain hard. Open carberator sat there with heavy rain for maybe 12 hours.
This happened almost two months ago. The insurance company is saying that motor will only require a carberator kit and an oil change. Is this true? Even after rain water sat in there for two months?
Any advice? I am afraid too that they will get it running then hand it back over to me and then it fail in the future due to this water damage. Anyone know where there is more information of water damage to motors? Thanks

Hard to say without some testing. Who is responsible for not only letting it sit open to the rain but not acting right away when it did? That's neglect big time. Damage from that should be a separate claim IMO. Did you know this for two months? I'm a boater and I've seen boats that sunk be brought up and within hours they get the engines drained of water and prepared to run for later. Day one matters!
